About this mod
Technically TTW already makes the effect permanent by disabling code that removes the active effect when the player drops the Lucky 8-Ball, but it also makes the bonus an active effect instead of a real increase to base luck. This mod makes it so it is both permanent AND a full +1 bonus to base Luck.

In vanilla Fallout 3 the Lucky 8-Ball provides a +1 increase to your base Luck as long as it is held in your inventory. When it is removed from your inventory your base Luck decreases by 1.
In TTW this was changed to a permanent effect that persists even if the Lucky 8-Ball is removed from the player's inventory. However it also changed the effect to function as a +1 Bonus to Luck, like a drug which doesn't run out, rather than a full increase to the player's base stats.
I'm sure that TTW made this change for reasonable balance reasons, but I decided to blend the old bonus with the new behavior.
This mod increases the player's base Luck by +1 the moment they receive the Lucky 8-Ball from Timebomb and turns the Lucky 8-Ball into a mundane item without any effects, similar to Yew's bear charm, that you are free to do with as you like.
